Avicus Archive

Well... What can I say? I guess it's goodbye by tel6331 May 1, 2015 at 8:05 PM UTC

Well.... How do I start?...... For those of you who don't know me very well, I will give you a little insight of my time on Avicus.

 

It was a warm summer and a few of my friends and I decided that we should make a Minecraft map since we had just gotten into PvP. We wanted it to be different from others and a gamemode that would stand out from any others like TDM or Capture The Flag. After many confused and bored faces, we had come up with our idea and we began building. We decided that the map would be high in the sky and hosted on islands..... And so Skywars was born. Many of you who were on McZone (Now known as Avicus) may remember a gamemode called Skywars. Yes, this was the gamemode.

 

Once we had built the gamemode we played the map countless times within a small group of IRL friends but my friend JJtCool wanted to go bigger. He decided that he would put the gamemode onto a server called McZone with the permission of a certain person called FunkyStudios (Now known as Kylocode). This was soon implemented and proved to be a big hit on the server. Since the map was then put on the server, this encouraged to me start playing on the server. I became a regular and I became familiar with the mods at the time (No McZone veterans remain after I leave unfortunately). This map got more and more popular that FunkyStudios decided to host a tournament after we built Skywars 2.0. As there were 3 islands, there were 3 teams (The Creators, McZone Staff and YouTubers). This was one of my favourite minecraft memories. The teams consisted of Myself, JJtCool, PINEAPPLE_SLAYER, W1NKILLER2 and hughsie1. The McZone staff consisted of FunkyStudios, killerbye22, Shirokamii and Blackhawk6alpha. And finally the YouTubers consisted of Exploding_TNT, GameplayerHD, and some other people whose names escape me for the time being.... Anyways...... We won this tournament and life went on. I carried on play McZone more until one of my friends and a certain Blackhawk6alpha suggested that I apply for a staff position on the server. I did so accordingly and woop woop I got Moderator. (No staff interviews back then so was eZ :P)

 

As time passed on, McZone was becoming bigger with the new gamemode nebula. FunkyStudios wanted to make the server even bigger, and so, the plans to transform McZone into Avicus began.

 

Just before Avicus was going to be released, I was asked if I would like to take up the spot as Sr Moderator on the Network and I responded with "Heeeeeeell Yeah!" But, I did have to go through an interview this time and yeah.... aced it :P Anyways, so yeah Avicus was born and everything was fine etc.... Now for more recent updates.....

 

Avicore was a major update to the Avicus network. It was a big step up in what we had achieved. Prior to the update of Avicore, I was asked a question....Whether I wanted to take on the role as Manager. Because it was me, I replied with "Ye bitch" and boom, I was Manager. And the Gamemode 1 abuse was real XD I built many things in nebula such as hot tubs, swimming areas, temples, statues and castles :P Don't forget the massive Crosses that I stood on when I had a Jesus skin :P

 

But then came another update where Manager was then morphed into Sr Moderator again and well yeah, story of my lyfe really..... Nah

Then recently, I was given the opportunity to become Staff Administrator in the server. I was enthusiastic about the task and I was willing to take it on with much excitement. It all started off well and I was happy and I thought that I could do many great things in the future.... but......

 

The last few weeks have been very hard on me, I have had more than 4 personal and heartbreaking issues pop up within 5 days. This was extremely hard to deal with. I felt more alone than ever and all that motivation I had was stripped away from me. I lost motivation for everything. But my boys and girls here on Avicus always knew how to cheer me up and they helped me along the way however my motivation has yet to return. That is why I am announcing my retirement, after almost 2 year on this server.... I think.....

 

It has been quite and journey and one that I have both loved and treasured. I have had many laughs on the server, Skype calls, the server's TeamSpeak and even when I am on my own. I am sure that everyone I have talked to, I have somewhere along the line squeezed a laugh out of you :P And I am sure that I will again.

I will not fully leave the server, I will still be on TeamSpeak, Skype if you need me and every now and then I will pop on the server to say hi.

 

I will not go through a list of players that I want to thank since I want to thanks every player on this server. Even the banned players.... I want to thank them for giving me the pleasure of banning them :D and the players who are currently on the server thank you for just keeping this server alive. I don't plan on coming back as a staff member so you will only see me with my Diamond tag ;)

 

So I guess it has been quite a journey! I will miss everyone here!

Finally my last announcement will be about my Successor. He is fairly new to the staff team but has been impressive all round. He has exceeded all expectations and I have no doubt that he will perform excellently as an Admin. The choice was not made just by me, but by the whole Admin team so there was no bias involved.

 

Adios amigos, I will see you around I guess

 

Ya boi teli <3

Kylo will be here forever...He made the server.

Also, I believe because people had no idea what a Director was, so they changed it to Admin.
